Archbishop Timothy Dolan told Hispanic parishioners in Staten Island Sunday that he was deeply saddened by a string of bias crimes there.
"Our God is sad, our church is sad, and we are sad. But we should never lose hope," he told worshippers during Mass at St. Mary's of the Assumption Church in Port Richmond.
"We will reclaim our streets," he said in a sermon delivered in Spanish. "God lives in these streets. Fear, violence and hate do not live here."
Parishioners said they found Dolan's words soothing.
"He gave me a lot of hope," said Jaime Bolanos, 20, who emigrated from Mexico 12 years ago. "Many people think we are alone. We are not."
Dolan, the leader of 2.5 million New York Catholics, spoke just before prosecutors dropped the hate crime charges against a teenager accused of robbing a 15-year-old Mexican boy and using ethnic slurs.
Yashua Plair, 17, was charged with robbery and menacing in the Wednesday night incident.
Staten Island has been hit with 11 recorded bias crimes since April - mostly in the Port Richmond area.
Cops have responded by increasing patrols and placing mobile command posts in the neighborhood.
After the sermon, Dolan said it was a challenge for the church to influence young people.
"We need to bring young people even closer so that they're not tempted to get into these dangerous destructive habits," he said.

I think some of these religious leaders are idiots thinking they're doing God's work by protecting unrighteousness:

And I wonder what these religious types have to say about all of this:
